Today, my parents woke me up and grounded me for the "disrespectful" things I said to them in my sleep. Apparently I say these things every night, and each time I do they extend the grounding. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents tried to apologize for wrongly grounding me. I told them to go fuck themselves, so now I'm re-grounded. FML
Today, my parents have decided to ground me if I don’t wake up early. If I wake up early, I get migraines. Not only that, but the migraines always last for exactly as long as the grounding. FML
Today, I woke up early, went to the gym, then came home and showered. When I went into my room to change, my mom woke up and started pounding on my door, screaming about how lazy and useless I was for sleeping so late. When I tried to tell her otherwise, she grounded me for "talking back". FML
Today, my mom scolded me and threatened to ground me for coming home past midnight. Normally, it wouldn't be unreasonable, except for the fact that I'm 24 years-old, and that my parents live with me, in my own house. FML
Today, my mom took my cell to work with her. When she got home later, she scolded me for not answering her calls. When I pointed out that she'd taken it, she grounded me for "talking back". FML
Today, my parents accused me of being secretive. I have no idea what they're talking about; all I do is work, go to school, sleep, and eat. Now I'm grounded until I tell them what's going on. I have crazy parents, that's what's going on. FML
Today, my dad made a big show of sending me to my room and grounding me for a week. Not because he heard me cursing at my video game, but because I "swear like a little girl" and it embarrassed him in front of his friends. FML
Today, my normally very modest and prissy mom came home, pissed off about something. I asked her what was wrong, but she wouldn't say, and snapped at me to "fuck off." She then grounded me for "making" her use that kind of "vile language." FML
Today, my mom and stepdad finally grounded my horrible, rebellious sister. The problem is that they grounded me as well in order to "keep me in line and make sure that I don't do what she was doing." FML
Today, I was grounded by my mom because I had slept in past 11, when she wanted me to wake up at seven to do chores. According to her logic, I should have seen the note she left on the counter earlier this morning. FML

I assume you have your own bedroom, so what the hell are your parents even doing being in the same room? Are they watching you sleep? Are they coming into your room to take something of yours? Maybe they deserve what you said then because that is CREEPY.

Next time, ask for proof. You never know if there's something ulterior here...

Are your parents the type that don't let their kids do kid things? Maybe they are grounding you so you cant "rebel" against them. Even if you are talking in your sleep, that's not something they should be able to hear unless they are watching you sleep. If I were you, I'd set up some kind of recording so you can hear what is worth being grounded over.

Sleep with duct tape over your mouth. Problem solved.

Doesn't sound like a scam at all.

You should either consult a sleep specialist or invest in a ladder to climb out your window and sneak out at night.

Maybe you should think about reconsidering that exorcism.

Why are they paying attention to what you do when you're sleeping? And they do know you can't help what you say when you sleep, right?

My thoughts exactly :'/

I kinda think that's the point.

WOW. It sounds like your parents are standing over your bed while you sleep. That's pretty disturbing. If you're old enough to move out, RUN FOR THE HILLS!!

Duct tape, my friend.
